![]() ![]() ![]() When you don’t see Zombies or Spectres, you feel compelled to ask the other player what crazy build they are doing. Zombies… Zombies everywhere… Trading this league is very entertaining because whenever you go into somebody’s hideout, all you see are… Zombies (or spectres, but mostly zombies). #Poe blight release date PatchThe complete 3.8 patch notes can be found here. As such, builds that can handle large groups are prevalent this league. The mechanic revolves around building towers to kill and hinder large groups of monsters that move along expanding paths. Ultimately, Blight is a more laid back league than before. This new system is fantastic the only issue is players want to be able to set the master mission from the map device, not have to visit each master individually. The Daily Master Quest adjustment is awesome as players now receive random daily quest iterations based on the tier of completed map, and can store those iterations for later use. You can find the complete list of anointments here and an overview of Oil Crafting here. Anointed Oils can also be applied to Blight Maps, impacting pack size, tower damage, and even the experienced gamed. I’ve personally found most players are ignoring the anointments because the benefits are so selective, but in some cases, it can be worth it (for example there’s an anointment that doubles your chaos Resistance). 19 new Divination Cards and 16 new Unique items were also added.Īnointments allow players to combine oils (which drop from blighted nodes) and apply those combinations to Rings and Amulets to provide the benefits of Passive Skills or Tower Enchantments. ![]() Icicle Mine (formerly Freeze Mine) has become the new top mine build, and with the refined mine and detonation play, it’s a ton of fun. Skitterbots have also become a standard for many builds with their cold support abilities. However Deathmark, Feeding Frenzy and Meat Shield all play a key role in minion support. Pestilent Strike is nowhere to be found in the top builds. Cobra Lash (which is basically poison Spectral Throw) is the most played new skill, but it accounts for only 1% of characters in the normal league (2% in HC and 6% in SSF). Numerous new skills were introduced with Blight, but many fell short in play and support. The good news is after minion builds, there is more diversity in skills and ascendancies than last league. There’s no question minion nerfs are incoming for 3.9. This includes many minion builds achieving more than 40M shaper DPS, and players killing Uber Elder with Zombies on a 4L. With Blight and the buffs to Minions, pet builds are now the top builds in the game, and even more OP than Cyclone was last league. Cyclone was nerfed, and it’s not nearly as popular this league, but that was expected due to how OP it was last league. While last league was the Cyclone League, this league is the Minion League. Most of these issues have been resolved, but because of the sheer number of monsters on the screen in Blight maps, there are still performance issues with slower systems. There were numerous performance issues at launch, mainly tied to server crashes and slowdowns due to the high concentration of monsters in blight maps. ![]() The master quest mechanic (for mapping) was also changed. It’s a tower-defense based mechanic which also added item Anointments, Blighted Maps, new Skills and Unique items, and made many skill and Ascendancy adjustments. Continuing the 3-month content release schedule players have been enjoying for years, the Path of Exile Blight League launched on September 6, 2019. ![]()
